Mike Baxter

I've spent over a decade building software and leading engineering teams across New Zealand and internationally. That experience made one thing clear: the biggest drag on productivity isn't a lack of information — it's information that's impossible to find, hard to trust, and scattered across a dozen tools no one fully owns.

MeshHive is my attempt to fix that. We're building knowledge infrastructure that actually works — tools that help teams capture what they know, structure it in a way that's useful, and surface the right answer at the right moment.

Our first product, Knowledge Distillery, is designed to turn the unstructured knowledge locked inside your organisation — in documents, conversations, and people's heads — into something structured, searchable, and genuinely actionable.

Background

Before starting MeshHive, I worked across enterprise software, SaaS platforms, and custom development — building everything from large-scale APIs to customer-facing products. My work has always sat at the intersection of engineering, product thinking, and the messy human problems that technology is supposed to solve.

I'm a C# and .NET developer at heart, with a strong interest in AI-native architecture, developer tooling, and the practical challenges of bringing AI into real business workflows.

Get in touch

If you're building something in this space, thinking about knowledge management at scale, or just want to talk shop — I'd love to hear from you.
